Tactile Filmmaking Workshop: Cyberpunk Sounds
In honor of our Cyberpunk exhibition closing on April 12, we welcome filmmaker and educator Andrew Kim to guide participants in building their very own Atari Punk Console—a simple, chaotic sound synthesizer, perfect for generating gritty sci-fi textures.
In the second half of the workshop, we will create and record a cyberpunk-inspired film score using a variety of synthesizers, both analog and digital.

An Evening of Short Films from Asian American Filmmakers
The Academy is celebrating Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander Heritage month with this selection of short films featuring Asian American filmmakers and stories. The evening includes two animated films, Ishu Patel’s Oscar-nominated Bead Game (1977), and Soar (2014), from filmmaker Alyce Tzue. Arthur Dong’s Oscar-nominated documentary short, Sewing Woman (1982), tells the life story of the filmmaker’s mother, while Sean Wang (Dìdi) was nominated for his documentary Nai Nai & Wài Pó (2023), depicting the close friendship of his elderly grandmothers. Jon M. Chu (Wicked, 2024) won a DGA Student Film Award for his musical short Gwai Lo: The Little Foreigner (2002). Filmmaker Andrew Ahn (Fire Island, 2022) made his short film Dol (First Birthday, 2011) partly as a way of coming out to his parents. Masami Kawai’s Nami (2015) depicts a day in the life of a grieving widow in her journey across Los Angeles. In Amrita Singh’s Winning in America (2021), a teenage girl faces the challenges of a spelling bee and her coach father.
